PANAJI: The lack of a signboard, cacol streets, dead signals and connections that not only make trips during MONSO nightmares but also placing the life of the driver in circumstances.
With the PWD and the Indian National Highway Authority (NHAI) dig and widened the road across Goa, the streets began to resemble a “hurdle course”, say commuters.
People traveling every day said that the state authority closed his eyes against the dangers faced by motorists and pedestrians.
An example is a busy chimbel intersection along the old Kadamba Goa Bypass Road.
After several fatal accidents, the government installed traffic signals to control traffic but the signal had stopped working since the last two months.
Chairman of the Minister of Pramod Sawant traveled on this route every day.
“For villagers crossing from one end to the other, we need a traffic signal or the car does not stop.
Imagine senior citizens or children try to cross the road,” Local residents DEEPali Desai said.
“Vehicles that are fast especially trucks do not realize that they passed a village.
A small side street shop broken a few years ago when a truck crashed it,” he said.
The intersection of the Merces at the capital entrance is no better.
The road that is severely damaged along with the merger of several vehicle traffic lines makes it difficult for motorists to navigate the intersection.
Although police personnel were posted at the intersection of their role was to punish motorists and not streamline traffic, said the driver.
Coordinator Goacan Roland Martins, who is a member of the state road safety board, said that poor road engineering and the lack of monitoring by PWD was responsible.
While the PWD and the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) have initiated a widening road project across the country but at night, the construction site does not turn on and the transfer is not properly marked, say commuters.
Martins said that people need to start complaints with the authorities and even with the consumer court so that actions can begin.
“PWD needs to have a vehicle to move up and down to check whether the contractor adheres to safety norms.
PWD must monitor works but road users also need to file complaints,” Martins said.
“The roads are falling apart and with the rain are worse.
Contractors must comply with the provisions of the contract regarding signs, lighting, but because no one monitors them intentionally ignoring it,” he said.
On June 28, the residents of Virnoda, Pernem, planted coconut trees in the hole in the middle of the road due to frustration with road conditions.
